Owner Experience Review

Owners gravitate to the 550 Sedan BridgebySEA RAYfor owner-operated family cruising and long weekends, using the salon, full galley, and three staterooms for multi-day trips. The flying bridge is a social focal point with seating for 8–12, and some boats are run with a mate or occasional crew thanks to a utility/crew space with separate access. The salon/galley/dinette are on one level, which keeps the boat sociable underway and at anchor, and the forward owner stateroom with ensuite plus roomy guest/crew cabins make entertaining straightforward.

Underway, owners and testers describe solid handling and easy maneuvering in bays and marinas, with one test noting it “handled and performed like a Porsche.” With higher-power Detroit diesels, tests reported roughly a 29-knot cruise and about 35 knots at the top; in general, owners see typical cruises around 22–29 knots. An owner sea trial noted the boat held the recommended WOT 2150 rpm and about 30 knots for 10 minutes without elevated exhaust temperatures. The hull is fundamentally a flat-water/pocket-cruiser type, happiest in protected waters and fair-weather Gulf/ICW/Bahamas runs, and it is not praised for heavy-ocean crossings due to modest bow flare.

Engine-room access and serviceability earn consistent praise, with a salon hatch and well-arranged systems that ease routine work. Offsetting that, surveys and owner threads flag finish/fit and age-related items—maple veneer and lighter interior fabrics, plus appliance framing around the refrigerator, can deteriorate and drive cosmetic refit costs. Watch for cosmetic “washboarding” at the bridge coaming and vulnerable rail/stainless details, and, as with older examples generally, inspect plywood/stringers for rot or delamination. Electrically, many original boats left the factory with a single 50A shore supply, which experts consider light for this size and often leads owners to plan upgrades; some AC compressors and batteries are located in the lazarette, influencing service strategy. Side decks can be narrow in places and some bridge rail heights drew criticism, so movement topsides warrants attention.

Pros and Cons

• Sociable single-level salon/galley/dinette with generous bridge and salon seating that entertains well for 8–12.
• Suits owner-operated family cruising with three staterooms and the option to run with occasional crew.
• Engine-room access and well-arranged systems are widely praised for easing routine service.
• Flat-water oriented hull is best in protected waters and mild crossings and is not praised for heavy-ocean work.
• Interior materials and some finish/fit items (maple veneer and appliance framing) can age poorly and require cosmetic refit.
• Many boats were delivered with single 50A shore power, which is light for this size and may prompt electrical upgrades.
